In Miami Gardens, like other areas of Florida, residents experience drug and alcohol abuse. If you are one of the Miami Gardens residents who is struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, you don’t have to suffer alone. Although people can and do often quit on their own, treatment is the safest and most effective way to treat addiction and create behavior change. For more information about the resources offered in Miami-Dade County for drug and alcohol abuse, visit their website.
Depending on the substance or substances you are abusing, there are different types of treatment available, including inpatient rehab, standard outpatient, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient—each type varying in its intensiveness. Once you enter a program, you will receive an intake assessment, which evaluates your substance abuse, along with your physical and mental health. This information will be used to create an individualized treatment plan for you to follow throughout the program. Your treatment plan may include participating in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), taking prescribed medication, going to group therapy meetings, attending family therapy, and/or engaging in holistic treatments such as acupuncture, meditation, or yoga. The types of treatment modalities and services you receive will depend on the individual rehab’s treatment philosophy.
Once you are ready to find help, you can look at our directory to find out more information about treatment facilities near you. Know that each center is different, so if you don’t find one that fits your needs in Miami Gardens, you may expand your search to other cities or states.

Nurse Leah really helped me because she was always fast with my medication and she's really nice. Therapist Ray was helpful because he taught me coping skills like 5,4,3,2,1 and he was very supportive. I liked the groups, we played games that were interactive. I loved the movie night every weekend and I also played bingo. I learned that I can have a clear mind. I would recommend River Oaks to anyone that needs help.
The was my second shot at treatment and I can honestly say this completely saved my life and the life of my family. The services provided were exceptional and the facility was amazing.
Using music to help in recovery is a phenomenal idea. It definitely helped me.
